taken care of throughout the evening.
The food was phenomenal. My personal favorites were the artichokes and the Peach Chutney Ricotta Sourdough, which was absolutely delicious! Rico also made me an amazing blackberry mojito, and my husband's cocktail was so tasty too!
The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and beautifully designed, making it the perfect place to celebrate such a special occasion. Overall, it was a 10/10 experience, and we will absolutely be back!
